Very interesting video. It has made me go and have another look at the store. I think, as a lifelong Bond fan I see feel a disconnect from the store as the majority of the lower priced items are the postcards, books etc … which most of us probably already have. So I am only looking at items that are a bit different, which ends up looking expensive. Enjoyable video as always
Absolutely fascinating Mark. I agree with your views on the store only advertising the top price items. It would be nice to have general emails based on themes or films, and I do think the layout and range of items offered is great. Thank you for your hard work once again on debunking the inconvenient truths! Best wishes 🙌🏻🇬🇧🤵🏻♂️💷
Thank you Ben! Really pleased you enjoyed the video and found it insightful. I’m not giving an opinion, just presenting the facts as they are which I think will surprise people. They certainly did surprise me!
This is a fascinating and helpful breakdown. Very illuminating, and I'm sure it will serve as encouragement and reassurance to some fans who have felt a bit shut out. Great job!
Thanks Fletcher, pleased you enjoyed it and found it interesting. Hopefully others will find it as you say illuminating and encourage them to look deeper at what is out there and available. That it’s not a case of only the “rich” and “elite” being catered for.
Thanks for the insight Mark! I do have some comments though. Is the Bond community referring to the 007-store or to Bond items beyond the store? I’m saying this because there is no Blackwell Rum, no Macallan, no Orlebar Brown, no Crockett and Jones, no Tom Ford etc on the 007 site. I’m personally appalled by those brands’ pricing, not the 007 store per se.
It includes Blackwell Rum and Orlebar Brown, NPeal etc all of which are listed on the 007 Store, brands like Omega, Tom Ford of course are not on the store but would account for such a small amount when it comes to collectables and individual items that the results would still be the same. For this video, I wanted to take a moment to address a common misconception about collecting James Bond memorabilia: that it's only for the rich. While there are certainly some high-end items that can fetch a pretty penny, the truth is that there are far more collectibles available at a reasonable price point by far.
Great video! This was something of a reality check for me. I've bought a number of wonderful products from the 007 store: postcards, tea towels, card decks, that sort of thing. I have neither the interest nor the money to buy any of the high-end brand merchandise - the fact that it's offered doesn't bother me, per se. Your observation that it's the high-end brand partnerships that help fund the films is interesting - if it helps keep the films in production, I'm fine with that. I have to admit being somewhat put off by the profusion of Omega unboxing videos at the channels/sites of Bond fan content creators - I think it's colored my perception of the 007 store to a degree. Your video has helped me get back to a "Live and Let Live" attitude towards both the store and the content creators. I realize that I'm perfectly free to not purchase or follow anything that holds no interest for me. Disapproval is not equivalent to discernment. Thanks for that.

Taschen's new "Ken Adam Archive Collection Edition" at 850 Pounds, though a great booky,is priced out of some people's reach...
